The American Rugby championship get underway t2/2/2019 with the USA taking on Chile. The game was played in Chile. The USA, Argentina and Uruguay all won.
The American are 2 time defending Champions. I am expecting a solid win from the americans.
USA Sevens
The USA Sevens are currently tied for 1st place and will have to keep pace if they want to try to win this year. They went undefeated in group play. They were extreamly fortunate to smash Kenya and Canada. They gave them +70 point differential and the #1 seed in the knockout rounds.
Fiji the Sevens other #1 ranked team has to play the host Australia in Sydney. The host are a very proud and tough opponent at home.
New Zealand, the perenial power, and the nations with the most Championships in Rugby 7 and Rugby Union will hae to get by a formitable European France, and the winner will have to play either Fiji or the host.
The USA missed the difficult side of the bracket, however if you take your guard down....you will lose. The USA opens against Spans and will have either England or South African to Contend with. I am glad the usa doesnt have to face Powerful Fiji, Perenial domination of NEw Zealand or the Aussie at home.
